Hello people, I was a member here at T nation back in 2019. I did mostly reading and rarely posted. I was still learning a lot back then about steroids, pct and other pharma stuff I guess. So I gained knowledge from this forum too.
I’m a former anabolic steroid user, I have been blasting and cruising for 5 years now until this year 2024. Since the new year hit I decided to no longer use steroids other than Testosterone at trt levels, if I can say that.
My cycles involved all kinds of steroids ranging from high T, to injectables like equipoise, tren, deca, orals like dbol/drol/winstrol/anavar. At my biggest I have been 250 pounds and bench over 400lbs. I wasn’t lean mind you. Leaner state 10-15% body fat I was regularly 225-235lbs.
The decision to quit steroids was because I was mentally and physically exhausted, I did not want to feel this way any longer, I was feeling like I’m a machine and it consumed me and my life. I just wanted to feel normal again, remain at reasonable dose of Testosterone while staying healthy.
I’m currently on self medicated Testosterone protocol, I don’t say trt because I’m not on doctors supervision. I use Testosterone undecanoate 250mg per week and it gives me a total Testosterone 1342ng/dl. Which is high and since I’m still trying to adjust to lower dosages. I feel pretty good otherwise: sex drive, strength and all that classic supraphysiological levels of Testosterone provide. Too much even.
My goals are to self medicate TRT from now on (where I live it’s an old world, so I can’t get it prescribed let alone get a decent protocol). I use undecanoate ester and so far I like that I only have to inject once per week and I’m very stable.
May, I ask for your guidance please?
I’d like to stay on TU which seems to be working for me now, however obviously I want to lower the dose pretty significantly.
I’m thinking about 125-150mg/week would be the best option given I want to achieve a Testosterone replacement, not enhancement anymore.
I currently feel way too high (if that’s the right word), I’d like to feel good and leveled with more optimal Testosterone levels.
Please note I’m not taking in any extras besides sometimes anastrozole and I do not wish to take anything else. I feel good and respond well to T only. Like I mentioned, I just want to feel good and I’m thinking what total T should I shoot for? (we don’t have free T blood test over here).
I don’t have a blood work at hand with myself, but I can tell you that I’m pretty healthy from previous tests and going by my memory, apart from slight blood pressure (high 130’s/80). I donate blood. Hopefully once I drop the dose and lose more weight and get leaner, I will be able to get blood pressure to a healthy levels again.
My lifestyle is active, I eat a healthy diet and my body fat is no more than 12-14% right now, I plan on getting leaner and lighter in weight to be more healthy. Health is my number 1 goal and second 2 is to feel good.
What would you guys suggest? What dosage would you choose?
I ask because my experience counts only to blasting and cruising, not a legit TRT.
Thank you, I appreciate all your help. Have a nice day everyone!
